A Visit from the Easter Bunny

The Easter Bunny made a visit to our house this year.

It was always a tradition in my house growing up that the Easter bunny would hide our baskets and we would have to look for them. The Easter Bunny told me he would continue that tradition with Ava once she was old enough to look for it.

You didn't have to tell Ava twice to look and see what the bunny brought her- she took off toward the basket as soon as she saw it. Then she went through everything and examined each item closely before looking at the next one.

One of my favorite gifts Ava received was her very own pair of Reef flip-flops. Her Daddy also received a new pair of flip-flops.

Its now offical, we all have reef flip-flops :)

Are these not just the cutest on her little feet ?!

Ava also got several books, a coloring book, a DVD, some candy, jewelry (play), stickers, and few other things. We did sit her down and tell her that none of these gifts are greater than the gift we each received on the very first Easter- the gift of forgiveness and salvation. Hopefully she will always remember the greatest gift and the price that was paid for that gift. I know she is a little young to comprehend any of it now, but it isn't ever too early to start drilling in these truths. I also believe she comprehends so much more than we give her credit for and I don't want to miss a single opportunity to tell her how much God loves her and what he did for her.
